The Mutant Bastards

 The Mutant Bastards line is a line of action 

figures, where my aim is to embody everything 

I love about the classic toys of my 

childhood - the bright colors, the playful designs, 

the fun and the storytelling.

This project is one of my pet projects. 

I do almost everything myself, 

save for the casting of the resin figures


My dream was to produce the figures in vinyl or a more durable material, 

but the production costs would sky-rocket, so I went with resin.

It’s a fragile material, so unfortunately, it’s not suitable for play.

But, it’s a rather popular material in the 

art-toy scene, because it’s cheap and easy to work with

  Copenhagen Bombay basically gave me a bag of   money and asked me to do a show for kids, where I taught drawing and model building. The platform was YouTube, where I would upload a new video every week.   60 episodes in total. The aim was to teach kids basic techniques, while making it entertaining - the style was very colorful and crazy.  I also tried to implement a bit of humor,   that would perhaps appeal to parents, including fun and dynamic editing, references to 70/80’s   pop-culture etc. I wanted to make it a slow show, that took it’s time to communicate, as a contrast to most modern kids’ shows. I had a day to prepare an episode and a day to edit, so   needless to say I had to be efficient. As part of the Tegnado brand, I also hosted a series of workshops for kids in the age of 5 - 10 years old at both Århus and Aalborg public libraries, among others places.

Marvelous Mosell - Stopmotion

Billede
  Some years ago, I created the artwork for Danish rapper Marvelous Mosell's 7" single Stopmotion. I really wanted to capture the essence of Mosell's universe. His lyrics are humorous, tongue-in-cheek and fun and the subjects evolve around, among other things, 80's nostalgia. The original video for Mosell's Stopmotion was made in.. well.. stopmotion, with action figures from alle the classic lines. It looked very gung-ho and primitive. It worked incredibly well on video, but as stills, it was a bit too primitive. I mean: You have to look at that cover over and over again. I do at least and there's nothing worse than looking at something you made and think "Darn, I could have done that so much better". So I decided to step it up a notch and make it look a bit more professional, but still within a DIY aesthetic. Also, I really wanted to make Mosell into an action figure we could place in this universe. So, with a bunch of cardboard, balsa wood, Sculpey ...

An introduction

 My name is Rune Alexandersen, For as long as I can remember, I have worked with my hands. Drawing, painting, sculpting – you name it, I’ve done it. This has transcended into my professional life too, where I have been fortunate enough to work both as a freelance and full-time employee. In everything from film to TV and illustration. In my spare-time I have released vinyl records, produced resin action figures, designed posters and record sleeves for bands and events.   I have also ran workshops with children where I taught drawing both as a volunteer and on a   professional level. Most notably, I have worked on productions such as Prince Ivandoe, Lego minifigure ads, John Dillermand, Lillefinger and Sprinter galore. This is my blog and an introduction to who I am and what I do.
